Twilight-fans, take heart: Robert Pattinson is every bit as good-looking and thick-maned as he appears onscreen. But don’t confuse him with his brooding characters — the 24-year-old actor is surprisingly open, chatty, and quick to laugh. Pattinson talked with EW last week about his upcoming film Water for Elephants (in theaters April 22), in which he plays a traveling-circus veterinarian who falls for the show’s star attraction, played by Reese Witherspoon. He also discussed what his future might look like once he’s finished with Twilight. “You can never really predict what an audience wants or how to maintain a career,” he says, “other than doing what you think is cool.” But, Pattinson laughs, “Generally, what I think is cool is what everyone else hates.”

Filming for the final two installments of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn will wrap next month, and there’s one thing Pattinson says he won’t miss — the contact lenses he’s had to wear to play Edward. “My God, I’ll be glad to see the last of those,” he says. “I actually want to get some kind of plastic explosive. I want to reanimate them into something so I can kill them. It’s so embarrassing for me — after so many years, it’s still a process every single morning. Everybody else has figured out how to do it, and then there’s two people holding me down because I can’t do it myself.”

For more on Robert Pattinson and Water for Elephants, including how the beloved book was made into a movie, pick up the new issue of Entertainment Weekly, on stands Friday, March 25.

I think Rob and Reese look awesome. I particularily like this cover 100 percent more than the VF cover of him looking like a pale faced amish Boy George holding what looks like a dead alligator per Rob's own words on Leno, not about the dead alligator, those are my words. I will definitely purchase this mag, I did not buy VF.

The VF April cover shoot of Rob was so cool!!Annie Leibovitz is one of our most celebrated photographers. (Check it out: wikipedia.org/wiki/annieleibovitz)EW's photos of Rob,(fabulous as they are) are just another photographer's type of creativity.My Rob photo collection is growing!
